Morgan & Kevin
Wedding Party
Madison Springer
Maid of Honor
SISTERRRR! My built in best friend. She likes all things weird: people, cats and sake. My sister is unlike anyone I know... which is beautiful in and of itself. She is a gorgeous model and yet you'll often find her in a one on one conversation with someone because she doesn't want all the attention. She is completely scatter brained with no awareness of time but that also makes her a dreamer and lofty goal setter. She's so cool and creative. She laughs at ALL of my jokes (because I'm the funny one). But I wish I was more like her.
Cassidy McGugan
Babe of Honor
My roomie/bestie. We've lived together for 5 years and I'm currently trying to convince Kevin to let us all live together forever. Cassidy is the friend you want in your life for the rest of your life. She actually genuinely purely cares about everyone she meets (I know what you're thinking... psychopath? Nope, she's just THAT nice and Jesus shines through her THAT much). She's the friend/roomie that leaves you a note when you have a hard day, flowers to celebrate you.... and a dead cockroach to clean up because she's scared. She's the most dramatic friend I've ever had and I love every second of it.
Hannah Grace Burgoon
Bridesmaid
Best friends since 7th grade, Hannah and I have grown up together! She is responsible for my first ever "sneaking out of the house" bust... and also for all of the hippie in me. Hannah and I truly bonded over our pursuits of Jesus in high school, we used to pray together, worship together, lead together.... and seriously ya'll Hannah has inspired me to love the Lord in the most purest sense of it. She makes it so simple. I have watched her get married to the coolest dude (shoutout trev), have the sweetest babies, and create a family with Grace. If you are friends with Hannah, you know... it is truly an honor.
Lindsey Fortin
Bridesmaid
This picture is blurry but it's so special because Lindsey and I got engaged in the SAME COURTYARD! College roomies, besties, bachelor megafans, founders of the KickPush longboarding club... this girl holds some of my most fun memories. She also consistently pushes me closer to Jesus, showing me how to stay faithful in all times and to always use a Biblical lens. She won't be able to be with us physically on the big day because she is growing her beautiful family by another baby :) BUT if she were, you best bet she would be the weird one on the dance floor doing the sprinkler.
Hannah Tutor
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I have been friends since.... 5th grade? So long. We grew up playing sports together (Hannah was much better at most of them than me). We used to sneak down to the cemetery and scare each other (Hannah was never scared). She loves Jesus and pushes me towards His grace, she's brutally honest, she's calm cool and collected until she's not ;) and I love her for all of it.
Katie Jane Reed
Bridesmaid
She's gonna kill me that I used this picture.... but that's what I love about Katie Jane. I'll get a call "MORGAN! WHAT THE HECK!?" Haha Katie is the friend you want around because she is always brutally honest with you. We survived high school together (as seen in photo) and that obviously was not easy. One time we drank the margarita mix out of her parent's fridge and thought we we're drunk (sorry Annessa's). We were not cool. But Katie is a loyal, consistent, forever friend. She tells it how it is, she challenges you, she makes you better.
Caroline Scales
Bridesmaid
Sweeeeet Carol, my freshman roommate and teammate in college. LAWD help us, Caroline... how did we have friends? We ate, slept, breathed soccer and it showed in our outfit choices. Honestly though, freshman year of college is hard enough right? Then add soccer and being weird on top of it and that was us. Caroline is the friend who always kept me laughing, kept me sane, kept me grounded. She is one of those friends that just feels like home. There's something way too special in a friendship that feels like home after years apart.
Yaisha Hovde
Bridesmaid
When you meet Yaisha, you love Yaisha. She lights up the room and brings the energy even when she isn't trying to. You'll know her at the wedding by the one going around the dance floor getting everyone out there... or maybe passing out shots. I'm lucky enough to be able to call this girl sister in law once we both marry these Hovde boys! We joke all the time about how it takes special women to be with these Hovde men... but really... thank God for us ;)
Alex Hovde
Best Man
We became roomies about 29 years ago and have been best friends ever since. Oh, he's also my brother! Alex has been a constant inspiration in my life and cannot thank him enough for his guidance. He and I bonded over music, soccer, family trips, camping weekends, and being generally weird. He has a great smile and whiskey collection.
Matt Johnson
Groomsman
Matt and I met in 6th grade by the mutual interest in being freakin' awesome and playing sports. We still like to spend a lot of our time playing/watching/debating sports but we also love a good rooftop bar, front row seats at concerts, and chilling on the pontoon on Spirit Lake at Matt's family cabin (see photo).
Austin Hanson
Groomsman
Aust and I met in high school and the friendship has continued to grow over the years. We enjoyed playing basketball and video games and frequenting country music festivals and cabins in the summer. He is the best at giving hugs and captaining the pontoon.
Justin Bui
Groomsman
I have known Bui since elementary school, we used to play football and he always tried to play quarterback (smh). In high school and college and beyond we became better friends. Bui loves basketball and crying to sad songs. More than once I have spent entire weekends crashing on his/Matt's couch in their apartment just to hang out and do nothing.
Nolan Johnson
Groomsman
For a long time Nolan was just Matt's younger brother, we would sometimes hang out and pick on him and he was just kind of around. Then Nolan moved to Nashville a few years after me and we bonded over home, our love for sports, video games, offbeat clothing style, and stupid drinking games. He became one of my best, goofiest, and loudest friends.
Jordan Anderson
Groomsman
Jordan and I met at high school soccer tryouts as freshman. Back then we were basically identical and near inseparable. I have so many memories with him on the soccer field, playing basketball on the SportCourt in his backyard, golfing and just hanging out. After high school I had more than a few adventures in North Dakota with him while he was attending UND. *Yes, this is the most recent photo he has of himself on FaceBook...
Adam Litowsky
Groomsman
Adam and I met a few years ago in Nashville when our friend groups meshed together. We started attending the same social events and playing soccer together and eventually we grew closer. Him and his fiance Courtney have since become the best of friends with Morgan and I. Adam and I love having chill cookouts, playing sports and board/video games, and just generally hanging out. He loves pizza, bourbon and making homemade egg rolls.
Justin Park
Groomsman
People call him Jurst, 'cause "Jurst is the worst". But actually Jurst is not the worst, he's pretty cool. Justin and I became roommates a few years ago and so he has spent lots of time with Morgan and I. He even jokingly gave her the right hand ring on our engagement night so he's basically next in line if I die (he better not get any ideas). Jurst and I like golfing, watching movies, and enjoying whiskey. No photo yet because his most recent online picture is from like 2015, so...
Drew Dudek
Groomsman
Drew was Morgan and I's best friend in PT school and he was the trillest third wheel of all time. The 3 of us spent a lot of time studying together (like, A LOT of time). He would keep us laughing and help us get through grad school. I have so many good memories going out in Nashville, visiting his home in small town Illinois, and living it up at PT school prom and spring break.
